Hello all fellow BC Bolters! I just joined up to the site in light of me acquiring a 1954 Chev 1 Ton model 1430. It's in rough shape but the price was right. FREE!
I got it running after it sat for 5-7 years at my friends place. Bought a coil,plugs,cap,rotor,points,condenser,and fuel pump all brand new for less than $150 bucks! It started right up with a little primer gas in the carb. Oh and found a few good wires around the shop to replace the old ones. Had to pull the fuel sender and unplug the pickup tube too.
I will try and post a few pics and 1 video of start up and pulling it out of the parking spot.
Last night was good when I met a guy out in the sticks who had a passenger side fender, so I went and picked it up. SCORE!! Only cost me $100 bux and he might have a line on the other side, which I need too. Anyway, I love this forum and love my new old chevy truck. I hope to get it up to par to drive and enjoy. Will keep you all posted. Until later, KEEP ON ROLLIN!
